Re: Network connection keeps dropping.

The behavior is the same on both: if I unplug the Dash from outlet / power, it goes through the boot process and brings me to the network configuration page.

If I choose " (X) Use an Existing Connection ", / Next / Choose a Network Configuration / (my SSID) / Next / Confirm my settings (which has all correct info re: IP Address) / Next .... Then it tries to "Connecting to Network... " ... and after a relatively long time: "Network Connection has Failed... wlan0 link is down, failed to obtain IP Address, Internet is unreachable".

Does it not support a fixed IP address?

OK... More information...

If I do a reload from USB, then I can bring up the expected Chumby Dashboard.

However, unplug and reboot... I'm back in Network Configuration.

So: I reinstalled from USB, stated SSH via provided instructions, logged in via PuTTY, and added the two suggested commands.

Reboot... back to Network Configuration. (Wha-Waaaaaaaa thanks for playing. )

Re: Network connection keeps dropping.

Yes. It will work for a day or two and then I walk in and it's waiting on selecting a network connection.

It always prompts on a reboot. I don't think I have a power issue, but it could disconnect from my wifi.

I may try shutting off the wifi and see what happens.

I identified an issue last night, If you didn't go through the dash setup where it asked that weird security question and answer, then it'll prompt for network connection after installing chumby.

To get around this, turn on SSHD then ssh in, and enter these commands:

echo x > /psp/securityAnswer
echo y > /psp/securityQuestion

On your next reboot, it should not stop on the network screen.

I have the same problem, but what is weird is that I have (2) Dashes in our bedroom, one bricked when applying the Sony patch and one didn't. Now both are working using the Chumby OS, but now the one that worked on the Sony patch will reboot every couple of days and the other one works fine? The rebooting is only an issue because the Dash is then stuck on the network connection screen...

Fired up PuTTyY and applied the below code, now it doesn't hang on the network screen However, I wonder why the clock is rebooting this frequently?
